What the pricing really means
At first glance, TheraPlatform looks cheaper at $39/month vs $169/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where Heard wins
- Done-for-you monthly bookkeeping saves therapists the most hated admin task
- Tax prep and filing included — personal on Essential, business on Premium
- S corp election guidance that reportedly saves $5,000+/year in taxes
- Built specifically for therapy private practice finances, not generic accounting
Where TheraPlatform wins
- Telehealth is genuinely good. The whiteboard, screen sharing, and therapy app library make virtual sessions feel more interactive than a plain Zoom call
- 30-day free trial with no credit card. You can test the full platform with real clients before paying a cent
- Pricing starts at $39/month, which undercuts SimplePractice and TherapyNotes for solo therapists who just need the basics
- Built-in insurance billing with electronic claims, coverage verification, and superbills in all paid tiers
Where Heard falls short
- NOT practice management software — handles finances only, not clinical work
- $169/mo is a lot when QuickBooks Self-Employed is $15/mo
- No G2 or Capterra reviews for independent comparison
- Premium at $255/mo needed if you're an S corp
Where TheraPlatform falls short
- No native mobile app. You are stuck using the browser on your phone, which is clunky between sessions
- Customer support gets mixed reviews. Some users report slow responses and finger-pointing when things break
- No open API, so you cannot connect it to Zapier or other tools you might already use
- The interface looks dated compared to newer competitors like Upheal or SimplePractice
